138 Misfits covers by Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, more

Luke Hemmings sent the punk police into an internet rage when he wore a Misfits shirt during 5 Seconds Of Summer’s Billboard Music Awards performance in 2015. Cee Lo Green had some sort of bedazzled Misfits shirt on during an episode of NBC’s The Voice. The Misfits’ blend of violent punk, ‘50s croon and b-horror movie obsessions has been crossing boundaries for decades. A great number of fans were first exposed to Glenn Danzig and crew’s music and vibe via Metallica, who wore Misfits and Samhain shirts onstage for years and whose late bassist, Cliff Burton, proudly sported a Misfits tattoo on his shoulder. American Nightmare, Hatebreed and Texas Is The Reason (a lyric from “Bullet”) chose their band names from the Misfits catalog. Of course, Metallica eventually covered the Misfits and they certainly aren’t alone. Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides is one of many rockers with Misfits ink on his body and the BVB singer joined one of the more recent Jerry Only-fronted incarnations of the band at the 2014 APMAs for a “Resurrection era” song, as well as some original Misfits classics.

After much scouring of the memory banks and multiple locations online, we present to you this exhaustive list of 138 Misfits covers, including loving tributes from Blink-182, Green Day, AFI, My Chemical Romance and of course, Metallica. All killer, no filler, all fun.
